“…Several studies suggest that topical fluorides are more effective when applied to newly erupted teeth than to teeth that have been in the mouth for several years (3)(4)(5). Enforcement of FMR among preschool children is important in preventing caries in first molars.…”

“…The results for each tooth surface were recorded after a visual examination with a dental mirror and exploration using sunlight or a flashlight. The items examined included number of sealant-treated teeth, number of C 0 and C 1-4 teeth, teeth missing due to caries, and number of treated teeth (5,10,11). Sealant-treated/ resin-filled teeth and healthy teeth were identified using erythrosine staining.…”

“…Moreover, other research suggests that topical fluorides are more effective when applied to newly erupted teeth than to teeth that have been present for several years (3,4). Similarly, Kobayashi et al reported that a topical fluoride regimen was more beneficial when it was initiated at younger ages and continued thereafter (5).…”

Since 1998, the authors have been working to improve the oral health of children at kindergartens and primary schools in the Kingdom of Tonga (Tonga). Our primary activity has been a school-based fluoride mouth-rinsing (FMR) program. FMR is performed using 7-10 mL of a 0.2% NaF solution for 1 min once per week at each school. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of schoolbased FMR on dental caries incidence among Tongan schoolchildren. A total of 109 children aged 10 years were evaluated at six primary schools on Tongatapu Island. The FMR group comprised 46 children who had participated in the school-based FMR program for at least 5 years 6 months; the control group comprised 63 children who had participated in the school-based FMR program for 1 year or less. During standardized dental examinations, decayed, missing, and filled teeth were counted by a single dentist at each school.

“…In terms of limitations, the most difficult effort is how to evaluate the participation of subjects to the trials for years and how to deal to biases of unknown magnitude and direction [114][115][116][117][118]. It was suggested that the use of fluoridated mouthrinses may have quite a low statistic impact in today's oral health care, probably due to the high cost, but still its use could prove valid among high-risk population groups [105].…”

The use of topically applied fluoride has been widely researched as a means to reduce the risk of dental caries in conjunction with other treatment modalities (mechanical oral hygiene, dietary control, antimicrobial intervention, pit and fissure sealants). There is overwhelming evidence that reports not only the significance and importance of the use of fluoride as a caries-preventive agent, but also how safe fluoride application is when used appropriately, particularly in higher risk individuals and populations. This paper reviews the caries-protective benefits of topical fluoride application in children and adolescents, with an emphasis on the clinical efficacy and safety of the vehicles by which fluoride is topically delivered. Fluoride toothpaste represents today the most cost-effective fluoride-delivery system in the oral cavity and its use should be the centerpiece in all caries-preventive strategies. On the other hand, mouthrinses, gels and varnishes currently represent adjuncts to toothpaste use and should be targeted towards individuals and groups at high risk of caries.

“…The effect of school-based FMR on the incidence of caries in children has been investigated during the past four decades in a large number of clinical trials. A caries decline of 20%~50% due to FMR has been reported [3][4][5][6][7] . A Cochrane review also concluded that the use of FMR by children is associated with a clear reduction in the caries increment.…”

Materials and Methods:One hundred and seventy children aged from 6 to 8 years of the FMR school and 187 children aged from 6 to 8 years of the control school completed the baseline survey. Children from the FMR school rinsed with 0.05% sodium fluoride everyday under supervision, while those from the control school did not. Adjusted caries preventive fraction (CPF) for 2 years were calculated to evaluate the effect of the FMR program.Result: After 2 years, 288 schoolchildren remained in the study. Decayed, missing or filled permanent teeth (DMFT) and index of the FMR and the control schools at baseline were 0.11 and 0.12, respectively, and the average DMFT increment of the FMR and the control schools after 2 years were 0.35 and 0.65, respectively. The adjusted CPF of DMFT was 48.5%. Conclusion:These findings show that a school-based FMR is an effective caries preventive program in a socially deprived community with poor infrastructure for oral health.
